I am trying to get that get coat look on my interior dash pieces, so I used body filler to coat my pieces, and I've sanded them real good. Then I wet sanded for an even better smoothness. Is there anything else I should do before I get them painted, because I will take it to a body shop to get it professionally painted.

Thanks.

i definitly would put 2 - 3 coats of primer and wet sand the primer with 600 or 800, then paint and clear, i did this with my galant but i put rainbow sparkles, 6 coats of clear, then wet sanded and buffed the parts, came out nice

make sure you tell the body shop you did not seal the primer. some paints allow primer and fiberglass resin to seep through. just a thought.

if i hold my breath, the rain will stop?

the only thing about just coating it with bodyfiller is the bodyfiller can peel off the plastic.
